Here is a great sheet for those who like to do modern special schemes. The sheet provides markings for the 2004 Tiger Meet Swiss F-18C. The decals are very well printed and provide the special fin, drop tank and missile markings that were carried for this event. In addition, there is a full stencil suite. Instructions are excellent with each decal's placement clearly given. Color information is given in FS 595, Humbrol, Xtracolor, Lifecolor and Gunze references.

For the kit, the only real option is the very nice Hasegawa F-18C. The instructions also provide a couple of nice color photos to help in placement. A color description is also given, but on my instructions, there seems to have been some sort of printing glitch as this portion seems to be written in Gaelic as the letters are all running over each other! No matter as the interior and detail colors of the F-18C are pretty standard and the kit instructions will do nicely in this regard.

This sheet is available in 1/72 and 1/48 scale, the 1/72 scale being the one reviewed.
